Just came across something on the NDBC site. Includes stations worldwide, this view deals with our part of the Basin. It shows view stations within the Bahamas but has some nice offshore stations to the north, west and south to help identify inbound trends.

Great exuma and TCI
I'm thinking of going to one of these places in the last week of july or first of august.
How bad is the wind there during summer ,Can I get at least 10 Knts everyday?
Checking windguru and windfinder, wind stays in the 15 knots range direction e/se, what's verry good.
Is it right?? or I shoud forget these places since season is over.

For only a week or so it is hard to say what might come through. This is the off wind season for the Western Bahamas. Just put up windgraph records for Georgetown, Exuma from last year for July and August. I've often wondered if they have summer tradewinds in that part of the Central Bahamas. Looking at the consistent easterly direction, it looks like they do, weaker ones anyway. The graphs are in mph not knots. It isn't as bad as I thought it would be, looks rideable rigged for light conditions (big board, good sized kite). Each year varies in these strange weather times were in however. A tropical system could increase or completely mess up the winds you see below. You're in prime time for tropical activity in late July and August. Contrary to common belief hurricanes and tropical storms can really mess up kiting (kiters too) at times.
